Bøker av John J. Clayton

The stories in John J. Clayton's newest collection are luminous, expressing a struggle to see growth and meaning in life as much as possible. Nearly all focus on family, and the characters, most of them Jewish, grapple with questions of living, dying, loving and worshipping. These are masterful stories of spiritual questing, emotional depth and often great humour.

Mourning the death of his wife after a senseless and tragic accident, Boston businessman Adam Friedman finds solace through living the mitzvoth—instructions for goodness, justice, and compassion. In a frenzy of good deeds, he saves lives and helps the needy. Is he crazy? Is he holy? Through his experiences of love and loss, beauty and pain, language and custom, Friedman's daily quest reveals the unexpected ways in which God may inhabit us all.
